More quotes by Stephen King
The only religions I don't like are the ones that insist their God is bigger than your God.
Stephen King
Money can't buy off the lightning.
Stephen King
We fool ourselves so much we could do it for a living.
Stephen King
Above, the stars shone hard and bright, sparks struck off the dark skin of the universe.
Stephen King
The kids accepted my drinking as a part of life. Not a particularly pernicious part. I didn't beat up on them. Basically I don't think I was so different from a lot of dads who have three or four martinis when they get in from work, wine with dinner and so on.
Stephen King
Make-up covers a multitude of sins.
Stephen King
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.
Stephen King
I've been typed as a horror writer, and I've always said to people, I don't care what you call me as long as the checks don't bounce and the family gets fed.
Stephen King
Somebody asked Somerset Maugham about his place in the pantheon of writers, and he said, I'm in the very front row of the second rate. I'm sort of haunted by that.
Stephen King
Grammar is...the pole you grab to get your thoughts up on their feet and walking.
Stephen King
Pain is the biggest power of love.
Stephen King
Fantasy has a better chance of lasting than a lot of other things. The Hobbit and the Narnia books, they seem to get handed down father to son, mother to daughter. Because they're set in a fantasy world, they can remain relevant.
Stephen King
I just write about what I feel I want to write about. I'm like a kid. I get an idea, and it's like a kid's toy that you push and tug around the room. It's fun, it's bright, it's pretty and maybe it'll go clack-clack or whiz-whiz, whatever it happens to do. I like to make believe.
Stephen King
Silent white light filled the world. And the righteous and unrighteous alike were consumed in that holy fire.
Stephen King
He removed his unvaluable valuables and dumped his shirt, pants, and skivvies into a letter slot.
Stephen King
He remembered waking up once, listening to the wind, thinking of all the dark and rushing cold outside and all the warmth of this bed, filled with their peaceful heat under two quilts, and wishing it could be like this forever.
Stephen King
Give a man or woman back his self-respect, and in most cases-not all, but most-you also give back that person's ability to think with at least some clarity.
Stephen King
And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity.
Stephen King
Don’t go beyond, no matter how much you feel you need to, Doctor. The barrier was not made to be broken. Remember this: there is more power here than you know. It is old and always restless. Remember.
Stephen King
...stopping a piece of work just because it's hard, either emotionally or imaginatively, is a bad idea. Sometimes you have to go on when you don't feel like it, and sometimes you're doing good work when if feels like all you're managing is to shovel sh*t from a sitting position.
Stephen King
